Guimaras is a small island located 15 mins. off Iloilo City. It is formerly known as Himal-us, and was a sub-province of Iloilo until it was made an independent province in 1992. This province is famous because of their insanely sweet Mangoes.

This is not part of our itinerary but since its proximity to Iloilo, we made a point to dropped-by for a day tour.

Iloilo is probably one of those underrated provinces, it’s not even in my bucket list. I have less knowledge of the place, well except for my boss whose from here.

This year my birthday falls on a National Holiday! I should be glad right? But Ooops… that holiday is Holy Thursday! Oh no!!! The season where Christians celebrate the passion of Christ. The only time of the year in the Philippines where traffic is sleeping and bearable, malls are closed and the people, either stays at home or praying in churches (visita iglesia as they call it). Some usually goes out of town or country “Beaching!” … hahaha… damn… those sons of the Beach!

Sagada is located in Mountain Province, still in the Cordillera Region of Northern Luzon. This place is widely popular because of its Mystic tourist attractions such as Cave Spelunking, Hanging Coffins, Cold and breezy weather, Grand Mountain landscape and Coffee! A bit laid back, the area can be one’s source of quiet “Me” time.

Banaue is located in Ifugao, another province in northern Luzon. It houses the majestically spectacular man-made Rice Terraces Or the Hagdan Hagdang Palayan in tagalog. It is often called by Filipinos as the 8th wonder of the World. This place is also included in the Unesco World Heritage Site.
